How do you know
What to do
When you don’t feel quite right,
And you’re not getting through
Life unscathed,
And you can’t really sue?
I wonder
If I should have
Gone to get help
When my empty head
Was playing tricks on me.
I wonder if I should have stayed,
When I had a choice to make.
But was I free to choose?
Family and friends
Supported me.
The doctors were helpful,
So also the nurses,
Some of them, anyway.
I think it was good
That I stuck around,
But the journey was full
Of grief and regret.
Hindsight’s 20/20,
As they say.
